I attended the Deep Value Detector workshop. Though logical and inspiring, I found it very subjective to implement. It revolves around Net-Net Investing. Buy stocks where value of current and tangible assets are worth more than current stock value. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/net-net.asp
I stick to income investing via Dividend Machines. it’s basically my type of investment strategy.

Thanks for sharing this analysis on gold. Gold will remain a safe haven for investors and the biggest opportunity for Gold traders.
Here's a resource where I have shared analysis on gold investing in 2019 -

I have talked to the sales rep. Trident thrives on volatility. In benign environments, it just fares just average 5-7%. still a decent gain? But... The fees are 10.8% a year for a 10,000 portfolio. So I’m thinking a comfortable size should be big to make the fee less of a burden.

Those PE bonds are not actually PE investments. You are actually more concerned with the issuer (PE company) fulfilling their obligations no matter what the performance of the underlying portfolio.
They did say it’s “backed” by cash flows from the companies they invested in but how it works is they actually try to meet promised rate if cash flows not enough. They also keep the extra. So I’m my opinion, you’re not making a bet on the performance underlying portfolio. Instead you are betting on the credit worthiness if the PE company.
There may be more risky tranhces (more gains but absorb losses) not open to retail investors.

IMHO, there are no preferred method of investment. As an investor we should always look at where can we diversify our funds and to do a rebalancing of portfolio to either reduces the exposures or to increase the opportunities.
Every financial instruments has their cycles. Whenever the stock markets are not doing well, the money will goes to commodities and Vice versa.
P2P may also faces with its own cycle eventually. The current cycle could not be determined yet as it is still a new instrument. I will highly suspect that it would behavior more like a fixed income instruments since it has a principal, interest, interest income and a pd rate as well.
It could beat the stock market except on exceptional bull markets.

Mainly through regular research and understanding some basic macro trends if you are investing in overseas funds.
I also make sure to see the type of top 5 holdings that a fund managers holds which gives me a slight understanding on the type of equities the fund holds.
My returns were averaging closer to 10% annualized till the emerging markets downturn.
Other than the following fund, none of my other funds top P2P on an annualized basis but they are two different asset class

There are other options like the following ETF but it only has US exposure

You can also wait for a Robo advisor like Stashaway

I'm not millennial (CRYYYY) but I think the millennials who are reading this thread must be financially savvy, or are at least trying to equip themselves with the knowledge. Lots of blogs, forums, and even banks are focusing their marketing efforts on this segment.
